To solve your example:

38 ) 4567

Work on the first two digits of 4567:

38 ) 4567 45

Try the biggest multiple of 38 that fits into 45, which is 1. Write down the 1 above, and subtract the 38 (45-38=7):

138 ) 4567 45 -38 7

Now, bring down the next digit, 6:

138 ) 4567 45 -38 76

Now find the biggest multiple of 38 that fits into 76, which is 2 (and by luck is exaclty 76):

1238 ) 4567 45 -38 76 76 0

Now, bring down the last digit, 7:

1238 ) 4567 45 -38 76 76 07

This is the last digit, and 38 cannot fit into this, so it is the "remainder":

120 Remainder 738 ) 4567 45 -38 76 76 07

So, 4567/38 = 120 with a remaidner of 7/38

My calculator gives 4567/38 as 120.18, so it looks right.

Hows that?
